clear fogs
Awesome mod far as looks. I also installed 5k hid in the fogs. The lexan i used left some room in between the bumper and lenses, so i notched the hole in the fog light mount to move it forward closer to the bumper. Stay in place nice and tight. Had to re aim fog lights way down. I have no problem making some just p.m. me.
The oven temp was 225, left in for a total of 8 mins. Pulled out every 2 mins to see if glue had loosened up.
Used permatex 5 min plastic welder. Clamped down to cure overnight.
Did one side of the fog light at a time.
Followed by silicone to be double waterproof.
Hid's were $32.99 on ebay.

^^ No, but you have to pull the front wheels, I had to at least.
Just fyi, my clear fogs separated after ~3 months, so I drilled some holes and bolted the sucker to the housing, then sealed it up with silicone.

Ok to get back on topic, I love the look of the clear fogs, but I'm afraid of screwing something up so I think I'm just going to go with STS-V fogs. Looks great though with the lens being extra clear like that. BTW, what's the average cost on a HID foglight conversion, and what kind of work does it entail?

My emblems are blacked out the same way. I bought a 12" x 24" piece of vinyl from a graphics shop for $6. I cut the vinyl to fit the whole colored area, then trimmed it with a hobby knife. There is a nice groove between the chrome and the colored part to run the knife through. I did both of the shields and all three V emblems and had over half of the vinyl left over. I had purposely bought extra in case I screwed up. Having the V emblems blacked out on a black car really makes the letter V stand out, but I'm still on the fence about keeping it. I love having the Caddy emblems blacked out though.

FAR AS THE CADDY EMBLEM I USED PIN STRIPING TAPE TO MASK OFF THE EDGE, THEN 2 COATS OF GLOSS BLACK, AND 2 CLEAR COATS.
HID KIT IS CHEAPEST ON EBAY. IVE BOUGHT ABOUT 6 HID KITS FOR MYSELF AND OTHERS. WORK GREAT. THESE PLUGGED RIGHT INTO THE ORIGINAL FOG LIGHT HARNESS.
I DID ALL THE WORK WITHOUT REMOVING THE TIRES. JUST TURNED THEM ALL THE WAY TO THE INSIDE OF THE SIDE I WAS WORKING ON. REMOVING THE FOG LIGHT HOUSING IS SIMPLE AS (2) CLIPS(BUT THERE IN SIDEWAYS AND HARD TO PULL OUT)
